The `Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability <https://cseptesting.org>`_ (CSEP) has organized Earthquake Forecast Testing Experiments during the last decades and is now consolidating its research into open-software initiatives.

**floatCSEP** is an easy-to-use software application that contains the workflow to deploy Earthquake Forecasting Experiments. It is based on the code python library **pyCSEP** (`Github <https://github.com/sceccode/pycsep>`_), which contains the core routines to test earthquake forecasts. While pyCSEP focuses on evaluation routines, floatCSEP provides the surrounding workflow needed to define, run, and update complete testing experiments.

**floatCSEP** fills the gap to set up a testing experiment by

* Standardizing experiment definitions, such as clear input/testing data partitions, spatial/magnitude domains, model parameters, tests, etc.
85+
* Orchestrating the workflow by an automated execution of all experiment tasks (building source codes, querying input data, create and test forecasts, output visualizations , etc.), while maintaining a prospective testing philosophy when required.
86+
* Assisting with containerizing the computational environment (using Docker).
87+
* Automated reporting and result visualization tools.
